Answer is B. hydrogen bonds.

If you look at water molecule H2O, it has an electro-negative atom oxygen and electropositive atom hydrogen. Due to the electronegativity difference, oxygen always has a partial negative charge and hydrogen has a partial positive charge.  Intermolecular hydrogen bonding exists between these polar water molecules. Hydrogen bonding is between hydrogen atom of one water molecule and oxygen atom of another water molecule (H2O - - - - H2O). Though its a weak force of attraction, energy is needed to break these bonds. Collectively this energy is considerable and so the boiling point of H2O is 100 degree Celsius.

When water boils, inter-molecular hydrogen bonds break and result in change of phase from liquid to vapour phase.

If you were making a product of artificial "Grow-Lites" for plants, what color light should
UNO [17]

Answer:

<u>-blue and red light</u>

Explanation:

Plants produce sugars or carbohydrates during the process of photosynthesis. They absorb light energy from the electromagnetic spectrum with pigments within the thylakoid membrane, like chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b.

Chlorophylls are made of ringed molecules chlorine, a hydrogenated form of porphyrin with a magnesium ion bonded to four atoms of nitrogen. Chlorophyll a shows the most absorption of red light  (642 nm) and blue light (372 nm); while chlorophyll b shows the most absorption at 626 nm and 392 nm.  

Different types of chlorophyll sidechains change the molecules' absorption ranges; A's methyl group is bound at carbon 7,  B's aldehyde (CHO) ring is bound at carbon 7.  Both absorb light from orange-red and violet-blue wavelengths. As such, the best light wavelengths for photosynthesis are within the blue and red wavelengths (425–450 nm) and (600–700 nm).

What is the role of convention in plate tectonics?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

read below

Explanation:

Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. The aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the Earth that extends to 2900 km.
